JMIRS Special Issues
The JMIRS annual special editions are a
collection of papers on special interest
and topical areas. JMIRS aims to engage
a community of authors and readers,
to help highlight the latest research
and to develop new ideas and research
directions. The upcoming special issues
are highlighted in more detail below:
“Mental health and wellness” content
deadline November 1, 2022
The last two years have brought
unprecedented challenges for medical
radiation technologists who have
worried about working while protecting
themselves, their loved ones, and
their patients. Adverse mental health
outcomes and burnout have impacted
many individuals and organizations.
We are seeking submissions in any of
our formats related to your research,
practice, policy, theory or narratives for
this special issue on mental health and
wellness. We are pleased to announce
Riaan van de Venter will act as Guest
Editor for this special issue.
“Caring for specialized or diverse
populations” content deadline May 1,
2023
Caring for specialized or diverse
populations is part of medical radiation
sciences practice. These populations
could be diverse in many ways, including
but not limited to age, ability, ethnicity,
culture, geography (e.g., rural and
remote communities), neurodiversity,
chronic illnesses, gender and sexual
orientation, indigeneity and body habitus.
We are seeking submissions in any of
our formats, related to your research,
practice, policy, theory or narratives on
this crucial topic.
Submissions should be sent online at:
http: www.jmirs.org/ but informal contact
about ideas can be discussed with the
editor at any time. E-mail us your ideas or
questions at editor@camrt.ca
